RDS Hierarchies - Child and Parent Duplicates

We have a requirement to load states/provinces/districts (children) for all countries (parent). The same state could exist in multiple countries. e.g., BADEN in Germany and BADEN in Switzerland. Both are valid, but CP4D sees them as duplicates. Th...

Update sample SMF166 record to include the STCNAME

On systems with more than one source and target server the SMF 166 record contains only the subscription 8 character name. Having the STCNAME for the Source and Target servers in the records will allow for easier monitoring and reporting using the...

Filters on RDS With Composite Keys

Filtering on a large RDS is cumbersome especially when you want to narrow down a specific combination of a code and two or more composite keys. Please add an option to filter on the "Key" (code|composite key 1|composite key 2)

Distributed Thread cancelled due to Idle Thread Timeout or MONITOR IDLE THREADS not writing record to SYS1.LOGREC

We noticed that every DB2 distributed thread that is cancelled because: 1) Idle thread timeout value that is specified by Db2 subsystem parameter IDTHTOIN in macro DSN6FAC is exceeded; or 2) ATTRIBUTE2 value in a row with KEYWORD value MO...

Calling external .NET code from OPL

Offers a way to interact with external code written in .NET from OPL.This feature would allow us to:• write a complex dedicated OR algorithm (such as a shortest path or flow algorithm) to be used as one step of a decomposed application• connect yo...

Improve constraint priority attachment in OPL

Actually we have to use OPL script to attach a relaxation priority to a constraint. It will be easier to attach this priority at the creation of the constraint. Reason is that a constraint tupleset can easily include a priority field: tuple rvCons...

Piecewise function with input as coordinate (x,y) of curve's points

the actual piecewise function in OPL takes as input abscissas and vector coefficient to construct the function.Many time people have user have the (x;y) coordinate. to do that you need to write OPL code to find the vector coefficient.Would be grea...
